The FRITZ! Commands
FRITZ!web can be operated using the buttons in the window
and the context menu of the right mouse button.
As soon as you have started FRITZ!web, an icon also appears
in the system tray. Click this icon with either mouse button to
operate FRITZ!web.
The Connection LEDs
Along the right edge of the FRITZ!web window are four LED
symbols. Information on data compression and the connec-
tion status of both B channels is presented here. These sym-
bols are highlighted in colors that change during operation to
indicate the current status of the selected Internet connection.
For an explanation of each LED’s colors, please see the Online
Help.
4.2 FRITZ!web Features
FRITZ!web provides the following capabilities:
Automatic Idle Timeout
In the FRITZ!web settings you can specify how many seconds
the line is allowed to remain idle before the existing connec-
tion to the Internet is terminated automatically. An example:
You request a web page and view it in your browser. While you
read this page, no further data is requested over the Internet
connection. After the delay you have specified in the settings,
FRITZ!web hangs up the idle connection. After the delay you
have specified in the settings, FRITZ! hangs up the idle con-
nection to avoid incurring further charges. The connection is
restored automatically when you click a link to another page
or type in another URL. Thanks to FRITZ!web’s fast dial-up, you
will hardly notice that the connection is being restored.
During an online banking or chat session, you should turn off
the “Automatic idle timeout” (timer) feature in order to pre-
vent unintentional termination of the Internet connection dur-
ing the session.
